Abstract (en)

In a wireless communication system formed by a plurality of access points constituting a wireless network, through which user terminals make accesses, and at least one control station configured to control the access points, public access points are systematically set up by a manager of the control station, while user's personal access points to be freely set up by users at desired locations according to needs of users are accommodated by operating the control station to measure a utilization level of each user's personal access point and charge an owner of each user's personal access point according to a measured utilization level and set up relay routes using the public access points and the user's personal access points. <IMAGE>
